Is hexbear federated? (beehaw.org)

Is hexbear.net/chapo.chat federated? They seem very active but when I search for a community hosted there on a different server it doesn't show up?

as far as i'm aware it is not, because:

  • they use a variant of lemmy which literally doesn't federate with the rest of lemmy (because it was developed and forked before that was even a thing--they're a very old instance), and they don't have the developers to rectify that;
  • and separately, there's not... really? a desire on the part of anybody to federate, either on hexbear's side or on lemmy's. it'd be far more beneficial to lemmy than hexbear, anyways
